Ingredients

Eggs: The main ingredient for the fluffiness. Eggs will be separated; whites for the meringue and yolks for the batter.
Milk: Whole milk is recommended for the best flavor.
All-purpose Flour: For a bit of chew and balanced texture.
Baking Powder: A small amount to help the pancakes rise.
Vanilla Extract: For flavor. Vanilla is recommended, but not mandatory.
Sugar: To sweeten the pancakes and stabilize the egg white meringue.
Vinegar: A bit of acid to help stabilize the egg whites. You can substitute vinegar with an equal amount of fresh lemon juice or a small amount of cream of tartar.

Instructions

Make the Soufflé Pancake Batter:

Separate egg whites and yolks into different mixing bowls, being careful not to break the yolks.
To the egg yolks, add milk and vanilla and whisk until combined. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then whisk until smooth. Set aside.
For the egg whites, add vinegar (or lemon juice). Beat with a hand mixer on medium until frothy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to mix.
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold ⅓ of the meringue into the yolk batter until evenly combined (a bit more thorough mixing is okay for this step).
Gently fold in the remaining meringue, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter fluffy.

Cook the Pancakes:

Preheat a large nonstick pan on low and lightly oil.
Portion the batter into the pan to form 2-3 pancakes, using a large spoon, cookie scoop, or piping bag.
Cover and cook for about 7-8 minutes until the bottom is golden. Flip gently, cover again, and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Serve immediately with toppings like whipped cream, fruits, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.

Recipe Tips

Avoid overmixing the meringue to prevent deflating.
Measure flour accurately for the right consistency; use a scale if possible.
Use a good nonstick pan on low heat.
Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the soft pancakes.

Best Tool for Shaping

Large Spoon or Cookie Scoop for simpler home methods.
Piping Bag for more control over the shape and size; a Wilton 2A tip is recommended for best results.
